Boniatillo (sweet Potato Paste)

Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things.

salted water to cover until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the
potatoes and puree them in a blender or food processor fitted with a
steel blade. 2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the water,
